Facial primordium
Early in the 4th week, face is represented by an area around the mouth bounded cranially by the neural plate, caudally by the pericardial
bulge and laterally by the mandibular precess of 1st pharyngeal arches.
Facial development is induced by brain vesicles.
Facial prominences
In week 4 five facial prominences appear around stomodeum:-Single frontonasal prominence (FNP) above the stomodeum.-Paired maxillary prominences (Mx P) lateral to stomodeum.-Paired mandibular prominences (Md P) below stomodeum. The paired prominences are derivatives of the first pair of pharyngeal arches

PHG 2223-1 108: ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
Etymological definition
The term “philosophy” is derived from a combination of two Greek words, namely philia (love) and Sophia (wisdom) meaning “love of wisdom.”
You may therefore, define philosophy as “love of wisdom.” This definition has persisted for more than two thousand years. It is said that the first one to call himself a philosopher was Pythagoras, a Greek who lived somewhere between 570 and 495 B.C.E. and spent most of his life in southern Italy. He is of course known by his famous mathematical theorem. When once asked if he was wise, he replied that no one could be wise but a god, but that he was a lover of wisdom. To love something does not mean to possess it but to focus our life on it. Whereas Pythagoras introduced the term philosopher, it was Socrates who made it famous.
For Socrates (467- 399 B.C.), love of wisdom entails the pursuit of truth and nothing but objective truth. He said that the philosopher was one who had a passion for wisdom and who was intoxicated by this love.
For Plato (427-347, it is gaining the vision of absolute ideas, that is, one must be able to discover what the character of universal reality is.
Aristotle (384-322), a follower of Plato reinforces the view when he stated that philosophy is the investigation of all things, which takes into account logical rules in the determination of the true nature of reality.
